Thanks for the offer, but after looking at the draft schedule and my schedule, I realized that I probably wont be able to do FF this year...

Unfortunately, no.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Team PVC Windup would like to change our team name to "LTownThrowdown"

Also, I was looking through some old drafts and the rules and found something about tiers in each draft to divide up who is in what draft, could someone either post here or PM me clarifying how that works? Thanks!

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I'll post it, along with some other items...

For each draft where (# teams in attendance)< 3x(# FF League teams), FF teams are split into tiers as evenly as possible. Who is in Tier 1, Tier 2, etc. varies by draft--it's random. Each tier drafts the same set of teams, and there is no "top" tier. For any event where the above inequality is not true, there is only one tier, with all participating FF players.


Now, an item of "business"...

I will be unable to run scoring this year. I can track who has what team, and help with attendance tracking, and run the waiver system--but I don't have the time to score the events, and I don't have time to run drafts.

This means that if somebody wants to step up and handle the scoring, now's your chance to say so. It's not particularly easy, but somebody's got to do it. There are two parts, event scoring (assigning scores to the teams at an event) and team scoring (making sure all the FF players get the points their teams earned). Speak up now, and I can offer some suggestions and advice (the best advice being don't do it all yourself--trust me!).

How do you play fantasy first

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

If you've ever played fantasy football, you will have some idea of how to play Fantasy FIRST (FF).

But, if you haven't, it's not that hard of a concept to pick up. For whatever event the FF league is playing in, pick 3 teams. Each team earns points based on standings, awards, wins, etc. Each player in the league gets the number of points his teams do. If you don't pick a team, a random team may be assigned--could be a surprise good one, could be a team that doesn't win a match.

Season Long FF (this league) takes it to another level. For every event in the FIRST season, including districts, area championships, and regionals, each player or team picks 3 teams. (For the FIRST Championship Event, it's 4 teams/division.) Each team earns its player(s) or team(s) points. (See earlier discussion of "tiers".) Highest number of points wins bragging rights.

But... there's a catch. Miss 5 drafts in a row (loose translation, 3 draft days), and you are given a warning. Miss the next draft day and you're out of the league and any teams you've picked already can be picked up by other players. The drafts run from Thanksgiving to Kickoff, with 2 drafts on most days and only 2 off days.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Information about how the league is run is here.
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2574?

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

So after 4 hours of intense google docing and facebook messaging, we have finally distributed the drafts amongst ourselves.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I am still looking for teammates

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

FYI, we don't need to know ahead of the drafts anything except who is on the team. It's actually quite possible for all the members of the team to make a pick or a change in any given draft. Just be sure that however your team is organized, your picks and changes get in.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Make lists, not draft schedules. ;)

Seriously - send in a list as often as you can, even if you change your mind or it has a handful of teams on it. Way easier for everyone that way.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

That is step 2 :rolleyes:

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I have lists! Just haven't sent them in yet :o

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I'll probably be running with the short list strategy this year. In the past, I've done every team... No time to do that this year.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I appreciate that.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

So I am scoring all the events if who ever is scoring the leagues will be known I will send you my data for each event by Monday at noon the latest. If no one will score leagues I will do both but don't expect them scored till a day later.

My only question about the scoring is for highest scoring match does that include qualification and elimination or just one?

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Just quals.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

The rules state that teams can have up to 3 people yet some teams have 4. Are we allowed to add another player to our team since we have 3 currently? Thanks.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

You can have 4.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

May I join a team that does not yet have 4 members?
Well, I know I can, it is just a matter of where.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Sure.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Any team interested in letting me join?

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Technologic and The Machine are both looking for players, or so I hear.

FYI to everyone, if you're making a roster change or a trade in your teams, the best place to do it is publicly. So, TeamRUSH has added a player.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Reminder: This Friday the 23rd we will be holding our initial Fantasy FIRST drafts for the BAE Systems Granite State Regional and the Kettering University FIRST Robotics District Competition. Don't forget to send in your lists or plan accordingly to attend the drafts. Because we have to double up so often this year it is very easy to fall behind in the matter of a couple of days and to the newbies you cna ask any veterans of the draft I do not tolerate absenteeism. I WILL CUT YOU OFF WITHOUT A MOMENT OF HESITATION if you fail to show up. Even if you fall into the red and save yourself time and again if you are a chronic offender I will cut you off for the trouble. The best defense against catching my wrath is to send in a list or even just simply say "Ill take random".
The cut off for registration will be Thanksgiving but I will allow team rosters to fluxuate during the draft season. No more than four members per team.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Just wanted to re-post to emphasize this.

I hate seeing people delay the drafts for the rest of us, so please either be online or send in your list.

If you have friends participating, please send them a reminder about this.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Can someone explain how the draft works? I understand the ordering and stuff (I read all of the rules) but where do we need to go for the draft? Is it a google doc or on chief? And if we want to send in our lists, where do we send them too? Thanks!

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Hey Ed,
Can you add me to team Exploding Bacon. Thanks :D
Happy Thanksgiving

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

On the day of the draft the draft order will be randomly assigned to the league members (for the District Championships and the FIRST Championships draft order will be determined by seeding). At the same time a random order of the teams will be established so teams can be selected for absent draftees (for the District Championships and FIRST Championships the order is determined by OPR). Draft times for selection are assigned to the draftees. They have five minutes in the first round to make their selection. Two minutes in the second round to make their selection and one minute in the the third round to make their selection. If a list is submitted the draftee wil have their pick made for them by the moderator according to the list. If no pick is made then a team will be assigned to the draftee by the moderator. It is then up to the draftee to correct the pick in the thread if they do not want the team that has been assigned to them. Until then any team picked by other draftees previous to the correction will belong to those draftees.
After the draft up until practice day of the event teams are allowed to trade teams with other draftees. Only even trades are allowed (One for one. Two for two or whole alliances for whole alliance. No unbalanced trades are allowed and no trading for real world items (Mtn Dew. Girlfirends. Previous robots. Freshmen minions.). All final decisions are through the commissioner (me).

The drafts are held @ 7pm est on the Fantasy FIRST forum on Chief Delphi.

Send all lists via PM to the draft moderators which will mostly be either me or EricH. I have had people send me lists one event at a time and I have had people send me full Excel documents with every draft listed in it. You can list every single team at the event or just the particular teams you want for the first and even second pick with a random assignment for your last pick. I have even had people send me list stating they just want random teams for events they had no idea about.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Since no one messaged me I will be running scoring for both events and leagues (may the force be with me). How do you guys want the results posted in each individual thread (where the drafts took place) or in a new thread each week summarizing the weeks events?

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Go ahead and post them in the threads. We can accumulate the scores for weekly standings in th emain Fantasy FIRST thread(if possible).

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

So I will post the results of the event and the results of the individual team scores in appropriate threads and post a week summary in this thread

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

yes.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I just take attendance--I won't be running any drafts this year. I'll be happy to forward any lists I get to whoever is actually running the draft, but they might come in at the last minute (I get off work with just enough time to get home before the drafts.)

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Sign me up for Team Paradise, please.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

FF League,

Team PureMichigan put together a Google Doc Spreadsheet to help organize our pick-list for each draft. We figured this might be useful to the other teams and to the people running the drafts.

Copy FF 2013 - Pick List Template to your Google Docs

After you copy the spreadsheet to your Google Docs, feel free to change [TeamName] to your FF Team Name and remove "Copy of " from the Title. Then you can share the Google Doc with the individuals running the draft (Koko Ed, etc).

Hope this helps,

We need someone to run the Kettering University FIRST Robotics District Competition this Friday.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Awesome resource definitely gonna use it for drafts thanks

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

if u need me 2 i will just pm me the info i need to run it

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

What info will you need?

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

like what programs to randomize the order

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

You'll probably want to use the FF Draft Assistant if you're not certain of what you're doing yet.

I would offer to help run a draft, but I don't have a great track record with that stuff, so I'd rather not mess something up again.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Can you add the Team "Beastly As My Fajitas" and add me to the team list. Thanks. By the way Clinton said you may think this is an weird first post. He vouches for me. Ill be adding additional teammates later once they create accounts.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Please add hallry to team pascack

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I will vouch for Troy and believe that their team will try to have a pick list for each draft.

However, if they do not ... feel free to kick them from the league and remove my support. :)

-Clinton-

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Hands down, the best way to go if it's your first time. Randomizes everything and spits out the schedule, then tracks all the lists for you. As a veteran draft runner, life got a LOT easier when I started using it (and even the really old version of it!)

The direct link to it is http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2307 (make sure you grab the "Fix" version instead of the "Update" version--Update won't grab the right year's events).

Can you Add JonUren to the team Beastly As My Fajitas? I will be adding one more teammate as soon as he tells me his account name. (edit) And i just saw that team registration is closed. Does that mean no one else can be added or just that no more teams can be added?

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

No more teams can be added, players can still switch if wanted

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Good luck to the 22 other teams/players.
How many teams/players are new to the league this year?

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Im new =P

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I can answer that one.

Teams 1-7 all have at least one player who has played before; 4 of those are the same team as last year. Awesome and Pure Michigan are returnees. I don't recognize any of the other players as having prior experience in Season Long, though they may have played in IRI.

So, 9 returning and 14 new teams--last year, we started with 13 teams and ended with 12.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Please Add "mattyswags" to the team "Beastly as My Fajitas". Ok thats all the additions to the team. Thanks for dealing with the last minute additions. Good luck to everyone!

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Not a player or team but I am your regional/league scorer and I am officially new to Fantasy First though I have followed it since 2007

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Cody Burd, the person who signed up to be draft runner, has not logged in for the past 2 days. He was supposed to be draft runner. To help make sure that all the draft does still happen, I have decided to run the draft. Cody, if you return shortly, you can have the job.
For now, here are the randomized rankings

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

There are league members who submitted lists to Cody and expected him to run the draft tonight. It is not fair to run the draft with no way of getting the teams they asked to receive. I would wait til tomorrow to do the draft.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

If they copied you, then you could send the lists over. I know I got a copy of some lists.



For anybody thinking of running a draft: If you can't make the scheduled time, don't volunteer for that night. There isn't enough wiggle room in the schedule to move drafts willy-nilly.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Cody will not be allowed to run any more drafts. He's in VERY hot water with me.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Need someone RELIABLE to run the Traverse City FIRST Robotics District Competition (Cody need not apply).

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I can run it if no one else can; My internet is slow due to me being away from home currently, so I'd be a bit slow.

Just shoot me a PM tomorrow around 6pm EST if no one else volunteers.
(I recommend teams send their lists to Ed or Eric, and then they forward them to whoever runs the draft)

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Next 3 days I am busy for at least part of drafting time.
What I learned tonight: keeping track of the draft and everyone's lists is tough, especially with 3 tiers.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Would it be a good idea to have people say their team name when picking? (I know I'm guilty for not doing this)

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

For anybody that needs a little help running drafts:

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2307

I highly suggest using that. It's designed specifically for running FF drafts in the Season Long League. Setup time of a draft: 5 minutes. Runtime of the same draft: Ask the program. Biggest downside: CD's 47-second post clock. And once you put the lists in, you don't need to worry about them--the first available team is taken automatically.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Good idea to do that--I tend to do it partly because sometimes I'm speaking as EricH, draft leader, and sometimes I'm speaking as Falcon, FF participant. Sometimes even in the same post.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I put my FF team in my signature. The only posts I make on these forums are on here, so it works out.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

When sending someone your list, say your name. It helps for the draft runner to be able to know what FF team you are from.

When posting, it can't hurt any.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I can run drafts from time to time, but tomorrow is not a day I'd be able to run one.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

What happened???????? i sent koko my draft list and he didnt use em????

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

No, the person who was supposed to run the draft forgot.

Chill people :)

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

OMG I am so sorry i totally forgot i was busy shopping with my mom and helping my step dad i am so sorry.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Does that mean we r redoing it?

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I will be droping out because i screwed it up and my schudule for work is all screwed up. Like i said i am very sorry for the problem.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

The teams dropped by Cody Burd
Kettering Tier 1: 1506, 3656, 3415
BAE Tier 2: 1512, 1922, 238

I believe these teams go on waiver.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Why are we not redoing kettering and BAE because the list i sent in was not used. This is frankly uncool.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I used your list for BAE.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

oh. lol well still what about kettering??

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

The guy who was supposed to run it ditched and Littleboy jumped in at the last second but he didn't have any lists. If you noticed earlier in the thread I suggested that he delays it due to a lack of lists but I did say we could weait and see if there are any complaints. We do have a little wiggle room to reschedule.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Before the draft started after I put it up, people sent me their lists. I used the lists I had and live picks to do the best we could. About half-way through the draft, Koko Ed sent me the lists he received. I used the lists I had for the rest of the draft.
For your first pick, I had not yet received your draft. However, I did use your list for your 2nd and 3rd picks. For reference, these were your 5th and 14th picks.
Now, I did make a few mistakes, but most of those have been corrected. (Thats what I get for drafting manually.) What you have to remember is that I signed up at the last minute.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Seeing as no one else has volunteered to do Traverse City; I'll run it.
(I can't get the FF Draft Assistant to work for whatever reason; so the lists were randomized HERE.)

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Well i definitely am issuing an official complaint and would like to reschedule kettering. Especially because i have first pick in this one lol.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Actually, you don't get a reschedule.

You get a redraft. Rejected on a technicality, resubmit under the proper name. ;):p :rolleyes:


Redraft rules specify that redrafts happen:
1) At the discretion of the commissioner and/or draft runner.
2) Only if your list wasn't used (or you were dropped inadvertently).

If your list was used, then point 2 does not apply. However, point 1 overrides if the commish (Ed) says it does.

Should a redraft occur, anybody with a list in may choose to resend it. However, redraft rules also specify that the redraft would be conducted using as much the same picks as possible, as soon as practical (in this case, 12/2 is the first open slot unless 3 drafts/day is an option).

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Correct. Those teams are on waiver. Get your claims in to me via PM or in http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=108841 by next Sunday night, 12/2, if you want those teams. Make sure you have the team you want, the tier, and the team you will be dropping, and put claims in order of priority.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I would like to submit and official complaint on the kettering draft. I would like a redraft due to the fact that my submitted list was not used. Thank you.
